here. I ordered the L&L BBQ Mix and did I turn out to be a happy camper. The plate was beef, chicken, short ribs (all of the meats were nicely seasoned), rice and macaroni salad. Heaping servings: flavorful and delicious. I don't know if all the locations mirror this one but this location is a go back too for sure.
Food/Taste/Flavor: 5/5 - mini chicken katsu plate gave a GIGANTIC portion!! Krispy outside and moist on the inside. The macaroni salad is simple but creamy. The kalua & lau lau combo was moist and the taro leaves has an interesting flavor so worth a try
Ambience: 4/5 - took food to go but the restaurant is clean and bright. They redid the store so it did get a face lift but does look a bit cluttered around the counter
Service: 5/5 - girl at the counter was attentive and quick. She was prepping to go containers of sauce, taking orders, organizing orders, and keeping it cool the entire time. Food took about 15 min and she apologized for the wait
Value for price: 5/5 - despite the price increases, still cheap with huge servings.
Excellent service (even if there is a long line at lunch hour), great food and very large portions for the price. Forget the Carson location rude people small portions - come here in Torrance, plus they really take care of regular customers.
Most people would never think of Hawaiian BBQ as a place to go for a low calorie meal, but I know of no better. My typical order is the Regular size Half & Half w/ BBQ Chicken and Beef, sides of white rice and steamed vegetables (85-90% broccoli). This is a large plate but still under 900 calories and I usually eat only half for lunch at work and take the rest home. Add unsweetened tea for your drink and you have a filling meal high in protein, enough carbs (white rice) to get you through the day, some vitamins from the veggies all under 450 calories.
Best value lunch and best for you that I've found, keeps me coming back for almost 15 years.
